I renamed this to an obituary thread because I don't think we need two separate threads to mark his death. Can't say I always agreed with what he did, but he certainly did a good job of reminding us Americans of our hypocrisy. I think that for the most part, he was good for Cuba, and he was good for the Americas. I wish we could have had a more cordial relationship with him. That would have been of benefit to both nations.
